He's a quick learner.. I've been pleased with his work.
A while back we had made the brackets to make up three "reproduction" battery trays based on a 1955 Chevy factory air conditioned car.
The only part that did not come with the used original pieces we had as patterns was the factory hold down with it's attached "zee" bracket that secures the battery hold down to the rear of the core support, as seen here in the factory assembly bulletin.
We recently mocked up the battery location, and made a zee bracket based on the picture and the dimensions we had in front of us.
Now to make the remaining two brackets for the other two battery trays.. A roll former die in the press brake was used to make the vertical bends.
A bit of tipping using a press brake die as an anvil, and then using the tipping tool...
The finished brackets and a comparison....
